The Diablo 14 in. x 84-Tooth Fine Finish Saw Blade for Wood is engineered for trim crews and woodworking professionals who demand glass-smooth crosscuts and rip cuts in hardwoods, softwoods, veneered plywood, melamine, and MDF. Designed by Diablo to maximize performance on sliding and chop-style miter saws, this 84-tooth ATB blade delivers the high tooth count and specialized cutting geometry needed to eliminate blowout and grabbing - giving you finish-quality results straight off the saw without secondary cleanup.

Key Features

• TiCo Hi-Density carbide tips specifically engineered for each application - harder, denser carbide holds a sharper edge longer for consistent fine-finish results through demanding production use
• Perma-SHIELD Non-stick Coating protects from heat, gumming, and corrosion - keeps the blade running cooler and cleaner, extending service life and reducing drag through gummy or resinous woods
• Super thin laser cut kerf (.118 in.) removes less material per pass - faster cutting, reduced waste, and less strain on your miter saw motor
• Tri-metal shock resistant brazing attaches carbide tips to withstand extreme impact - maximum durability when cutting dense hardwoods, engineered panels, and layered materials like melamine
• Hardened steel body warrants a longer life and sharper cutting edge - the rigid plate resists flex and vibration for truer, more accurate cuts over thousands of cycles
• 84 ATB teeth with a 15 deg. hook angle produce extremely smooth surfaces - ideal for finish carpentry, cabinet work, trim installation, and any application where cut quality matters

Why This Product

• Purpose-built for fine finish cutting - the 84-tooth ATB configuration and specialized geometry minimize tearout and blowout on oak, pine, molding, veneered plywood, and melamine, so trim and cabinet work comes off the saw ready to install
• Optimized for large-format miter saws - the 14 in. diameter and 1 in. arbor are matched to sliding and chop-style miter saws used on jobsites and in woodworking shops, giving crews a blade that fits and performs correctly in the tools they already own
• Built to handle a wide range of panel and solid wood materials - from hardwoods like oak to engineered sheet goods like MDF and melamine, a single blade covers the variety of materials encountered in trim and finish carpentry work
• Professional-grade construction with a 5,000 RPM maximum rating - the hardened steel body, TiCo carbide, and tri-metal brazing combine to deliver durability that holds up through high-volume production cutting, not just occasional shop use

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of materials can this blade cut?

This blade is rated for hardwoods, softwoods, veneered plywood, melamine, and MDF. It is specifically designed for fine finish crosscuts and rip cuts where surface quality is critical - including oak, pine, molding, and layered panel materials.

What saw is this blade compatible with?

The D1484X is designed for miter saws, including sliding and chop-style miter saws used in trim carpentry and finish work, as well as jobsite and workshop table saws. It features a 14 in. diameter, a 1 in. arbor, and a 5,000 RPM maximum rating.

What does the ATB tooth grind mean for cut quality?

ATB stands for Alternating Top Bevel - a tooth geometry where each tooth is beveled in alternating directions. On this blade, the 84-tooth ATB configuration combined with a 15 deg. hook angle produces extremely smooth cut surfaces while minimizing grabbing and blowout, making it well suited for finish-quality woodworking applications.

What is the Perma-SHIELD coating and why does it matter?

Perma-SHIELD is Diablo's non-stick coating applied to the blade body. It protects the steel plate from heat buildup, gumming from resins and adhesives, and corrosion - all of which can degrade cut quality and shorten blade life. The coating helps the blade run cleaner and cooler, particularly when cutting materials like melamine and MDF that can generate significant friction and resin transfer.
